There is a lot to consider when it comes to locks for doors and it is not easy to understand everything when it comes to security and electronic door locks.  

To help you gain a better understanding, this guide will explain the difference between el-sluttstykke solenoidlås. Both have the same basic purpose, which is to lock and unlock doors, but there are some differences when it comes to function and installation. 

What is an el-sluttstykke?

An el-sluttstykke an electric lock that is installed in the door frame. Its main function is to hold the door lock's latch bolt in place and release it when unlocked. Electric strikes are used in conjunction with a traditional mechanical lock case and are controlled electrically, for example via an access control system, remote control, or code lock. 

How it works

When an el-sluttstykke is locked, it holds the latch bolt in place and prevents the door from opening. When unlocked, the electric strike plate releases the bolt by means of an electrical signal activating its mechanism. This allows the door to be unlocked without having to turn the key manually. 

Advantages of el-sluttstykke 

• Easy integration into existing doors and locking systems. 

• Suitable for doors that are used very often, for example in offices, industry and apartment buildings, but not for your front door at home.  

• Possibility of remote control and automatic locking. 

What is a solenoidlås?

A solenoidlås, also known as an electric push lock, is installed in the door leaf itself and replaces the traditional mechanical låskassen The main difference between an electric pressure lock and a mechanical door lock is that the electric pressure lock has a built-in electric control, known as a solenoid, which controls the locking mechanism. This means that the door can be both locked and unlocked without the need for mechanical keys. 

How it works

The electric strike lock is controlled by an electrical signal that activates a solenoid inside the lock. This can be triggered by an access control system, a button press, or an app. Like el-sluttstykke , solenoidlås el-sluttstykke solenoidlås security and convenience, but they are more advanced because they can handle the entire locking mechanism and offer more features and signals than el-sluttstykke 

Split function in solenoidlås 

An important feature of solenoidlås the possibility of using them in split mode. This means that dørvrider outside dørvrider electrically, while dørvrider inside dørvrider is dørvrider mechanically connected. This way, the door can always be opened mechanically from the inside without the need for access control or an open button. 

Using solenoidlås split mode increases security while facilitating evacuation and passage. This makes the solution particularly suitable for doors where you want to combine electronic access control with smooth mechanical exit.

Unique to solenoidlås SAFETRON is that the locks can also be set to a fully electric mode where, for example, card readers control the lock from both sides of the door. 

Advantages of solenoidlås 

• All-in-one solution that eliminates the need for separate lock housings and el-sluttstykke. 

• Can be set to split function, which means that dørvrider inside dørvrider is dørvrider mechanically connected, eliminating the need for electrical activation when exiting. 

• Additional safety features such as more signals and indications for the superordinate system. 

• Ideal for high-frequency door environments and doors that require advanced access control. 

The main differences

Location of the installation 

• Electric strike plates are mounted in the door frame. 

• Solenoidlås in the door leaf. 

Functionality 

• Electric strike plates depend on a mechanical lock case to function. 

• Solenoidlås mechanical locks and have a built-in control system for locking and unlocking. 

Areas of use 

• Electric strike plates are more suitable for doors that already have an existing mechanical lock and are not prepared for cable connection in the door, so-called ducting. 

• Solenoidlås a comprehensive solution for new doors or projects where high flexibility, functionality, and monitoring are priorities. 

Which should you choose?

The choice between el-sluttstykke solenoidlås on your needs and the type of door in question.  

For a simple and cost-effective solution, an el-sluttstykke may el-sluttstykke the right choice, especially if you want to upgrade an existing door. For new installations or environments with high functional requirements, solenoidlås are solenoidlås the better choice.

In the homes of the future, digital locks will play a crucial role in providing security, convenience and efficiency. Integrating advanced technology into lockers not only changes the way we lock and unlock our homes, but also how we can streamline sharing access with friends, relatives or tradesmen.

What are the benefits of digital locks?

As we gradually move towards a more digitalized world, conventional keys are becoming increasingly obsolete. Future homes will instead embrace digital locks with open arms, not only increasing the level of security but also revolutionizing our living environment in several ways.

One of the most tangible changes is the ease and convenience offered by digital locks. Forgot your keys? No problem. With a digital lock, you can unlock your door at the touch of a button on your mobile phone. This eliminates the constant worry many people feel about losing or forgetting keys and provides a sense of freedom and ease.

Check the lock from the remote

You are sitting at your workplace and are about to let a craftsman in, no worries there either. A simple push of a button via your mobile phone gives the craftsman a time-limited access where the lock and door status are logged for future history.

Digital locks are part of smart homes

But it's not just about convenience; digital locks open up a whole new level of security. Advanced encryption makes it much more difficult for unauthorized persons to enter the home. Not only that, but digital locks can also be integrated with smart home systems to monitor and report any intrusion attempts in real time, providing added security and control for homeowners.

Technological developments do not stop there. With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), digital locks can be integrated with other smart devices in the home, allowing for changes and customizations based on user preferences and routines. Doors can be automatically locked when you leave the house or opened when you approach, all controlled by your smartphone or even your voice via a virtual assistant.

The homes of the future will also embrace sustainability and energy efficiency, and digital locks play a role here too. By integrating locks with energy management systems, homeowners can optimize the use of heating, lighting and other resources based on presence and activity in the home, reducing unnecessary energy consumption - good for the environment and the wallet.

In summary, digital locks will transform the homes of the future by offering outstanding convenience, improved security, smart integration with other home technologies and an increased focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. These locks represent not only a technological evolution but also a change in the way we perceive and interact with our homes, creating a more adaptable, secure and sustainable living environment for future generations.

Automatic doors, or automatic door systems, have become an increasingly common sight both in society and in workplaces, not only in Scandinavia but also worldwide. Their use is not only a convenience but also a necessary element to ensure accessibility, efficiency and safety in places where people move.

What is a dørautomatikk?

A dørautomatikk a machine used to automate the opening and closing process of doors. These systems are designed to open or close doors automatically when they detect presence, usually through sensors or buttons. Automatic door openers can be used on various types of doors, both interior and exterior, and are designed to meet different needs and requirements such as accessibility, security, and energy efficiency.

How does it work?

The basic component of an dørautomatikk a mechanism that controls the opening and closing of the door, which can be pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric depending on the design of the system and its area of application.

Accessibility for all

Automatic doors are particularly useful in places with high traffic or where accessibility is essential, such as in public buildings, hospitals, shopping centers, hotels and other commercial or institutional environments.

Accessibility is a key aspect of communities and workplaces today. Automatic door openers enable easier access for people with disabilities, older people and others who may have difficulty opening and closing traditional doors. By eliminating the need to physically push or pull a door, automatic doors can make places accessible to a wider and more diverse audience.

Safety and security

Another important aspect of automatic doors is their role in ensuring the safety and security of people in places where they are used. By providing a controlled opening and closing mechanism, automatic doors reduce the risk of doors being left open and posing a safety hazard. In addition, automatic doors can be integrated with security systems to monitor and regulate access to certain areas, which is particularly important in workplaces where safety is paramount.

How do automatic doors and electronic locks work together?

Door automation systems and electronic locks can work together to enable controlled access to buildings or specific areas. Electronic locks can be combined with dørautomatikk control the opening and closing of doors, where users may need to authenticate themselves with approved means of authentication such as key cards, codes, or biometric identification to unlock the door before the automatic door opener allows passage.

Through this integration, electronic locks and door automation systems can work together to improve security in a building. For example, a dørautomatikk can dørautomatikk connected to a security system that monitors door status. If an unauthorized opening of the door is detected, the system can trigger an alarm or notify security personnel to intervene.

Suitable electric locks with door automatics

In our range there are several electronic locks that are adapted to work with door automatics, these are marked with this icon on the respective product page.

All of our el-sluttstykke are compatible with automatic doors, so is the electric strike SAFETRON SL630 and the engine lock SAFETRON 6500.

Efficiency and agility

In workplaces where there is a high traffic of people, automatic doors can help increase efficiency and agility. By automatically opening and closing doors, it reduces the time spent waiting for doors to open or trying to navigate through tight spaces. This frees up time and energy that could otherwise be used more productively, which is particularly important in places where fast movement is essential, such as in hospitals, shopping malls or airports.

Consideration of Workplace Design (AFS 2020:1)

According to the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations, it is important to take into account the workplace design when applying automatic doors. This includes using automatic doors in appropriate locations to facilitate workflow and ensure they do not present an obstruction or risk to the working environment. In addition, automatic doors should be designed and installed taking into account the needs and abilities of users to ensure a safe and comfortable passage for all.

CE marking of automatic doors

As mentioned earlier, an dørautomatikk is defined dørautomatikk a machine and therefore falls under the Machinery Directive. An uninstalled dørautomatikk a partially completed machine which, after installation together with a door, becomes a machine. This means that the installer is the final part of the machine's manufacture and therefore also bears responsibility for CE marking. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the installer of the automatic door is thoroughly familiar with the requirements and regulations that apply to machine-operated doors, as well as the documentation that must be provided when the door environment is handed over.

What is the purpose of these requirements?

The basic purpose of these requirements and rules is to create safe door environments where there is no entrapment risk for people and especially children, but also to ensure that power-operated doors cannot injure people who are at increased risk of serious fall injuries.

In case of deficiencies in CE marking, penalties can be applied which can quickly accumulate to large sums.
